why aren't they doing that in south carolina? >> i just think there's a lot of choices, the super pacs have kept some candidates in the race who may not have been in after new hampshire and that's sort of dividing the field after romney. there's obviously support for santorum, gingrich, and in the sense that these are where the social conservatives would look to. i think it's just going toend up splitting the second place vote and making it probably not giving -- giving romney a bit of a more cushion in winning the state. >> the state newspaper's andy shane. andy, thank you. >>> there will be a meeting of evangelical leaders in texas, try fiengd out whom to support for president. one prominent evangelical who says he won't be there says the meeting is just a waste of time. we'll talk with him next. thrilled. wait. we can have shakes? and boston cream pie. did you say pie? pie. she said pie. pie.

in south carolina. we'll put it all together at the top of the show. plus has mitt's air gotten thin? rick perry supporters are likely to go to newt. his shares at bain capital pay hurt him. . he can't get out of his own way when talking about taxes. look at it this way president bu bush. if mitt didn't win iowa and doesn't win south carolina, he will not be 3-0, but 1-2. also a new poll shows how much trouble president obama may have with independent voters who aren't sold on the republicans either. that may explain why the president is up with his first ad of the campaign. and we mentioned that newt gingrich's second wife said he wanted an open marriage. the ex-wife of mark sanford joins us tonight live. she says she's lived this story and it will count politically. finally, an unples reminder while mitt romney may be headed for 1-3 that newt gingrich is already in the clubhouse with his 1-3 in the marital arena. we start with the final 48 hours. with me is mark halburn and john homen. both are msnbc

south carolina is looking at you hard. we will pick the most electable conservative, and mitt romney is a good man the tea party people should look at closely to vote for, because i think he can beat barack obama. i think that's all of our goals. >> you are not endorsing him, or are you prepared to do that? >> i don't know who i will vote for, because i know in south carolina, we pick presidents here and this is the best chance i have seen in years for the republican party to revive itself, and to prove we can lead and to end the barack obama administration. i have to ask you to be brief. 15 seconds. is romney, in your view, a tea party candidate? >> i would say that we have five strong candidates running for president in the republican nomination process right now. i would probably say he is the least of the candidates running for president right now that would be considered a tea party candidate. the question is can he win? any republican nominee is better than the president we currently have. >> we will leave it there.

obviously south carolina's a different place. voters in different states react to campaign strategies differently but also got to see mitt romney in a couple of debates and on -- not a very good week he had last week where he stumbled over his tax returns and -- didn't do quite as well in some of the debates against gingrich. and what we heard -- what our reporters on the ground in south carolina when they talk to voters they wanted somebody that could take obama on during the debate. not just who somebody in the theoretical way would seem to be the strongest in the general election but somebody fighting right now in the way they feel, visceral anger that jim referred to seemed to really be driving that and making them feel that gingrich's more electable in that sense and bring the fight to obama and more like him. >> another interesting thing from the exit polls, 60% of the voters said the candidates' religion matters. among them white born-again evangelicals broke in a big way for gingrich. rick santorum a little more than romn

runaway winner in south carolina. here's part of what he said last night. >> the american people feel that they have elites who have been trying for a half century to force us to quit being american and become some kind of other system. people completely misunderstand what's going on. it is not that i am a good debater. it is that i articulate the deepest-felt values of the american people. >> pretty confident guy there. what do you make of his argument? >> i think he is overconfident, frankly. that's what gets him into trouble. i mean, he did have a very good substantial win but is going into florida and there's two debates. if romney can step up and put him in his place and beat him on the advertising dollars, it should humble gingrich a little bit. >> what do you make of the reasoning here, karen? because he -- he has obviously struck a chord wi-- cord with t north carolina voters? >> absolutely. he tried it with the iowa voters. i mean, you know, here's a couple of things. one of the things i noticed it was a very
